IMPROVED ICE-PITCHER.

TO ALL WHOM` IT MAY CONGERN:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM BELLAMY, of. Newark, in the county of Essex, and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and improved Pitcher; and that the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing hereinafter referred to, forms a full' and exact specication of the same, wherein I have set forth the nature and principles of my Said improvements by which my invention may be distinguished from all others of a similar class, together with such parts as I claim, and desire to have secured to me by LettersPatent.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in that class of pitchers which are constructed with double walls inrorder to keep the contents of the pitcher cool, and which are commonly termed ice-pitchers.

The invention consists, first, in constructing the pitcher with the lids having their hinges at opposite points or sides, as hereinafter fully shown and described, whereby the top of the pitcher is rendered equally as capable of resistingatmospheric influences as the sides and bottom, and at the same time the lids rendered capable of being fully opened so that the pitcher may be filled with ice and liquids with equally as great facility as the` ordinary single-lid pitchers.

The invention consists, second, in inserting a tube between the two walls of the pitcher, the lower part of the tube communicating with the lower part of the interior of the pitcher, andthe upper end of said tube communicating with the nozzle or spout, as hereinafter fully shown and described, whereby liquids when poured from the pitcher will be taken from the lower or bottomv part thereof, and all froth avoided, as well as the cooler portion of the liquid obtained.

The accompanying drawing represents a vertical central section of my invention.

A A vrepresent the two walls of the pitcher; B, the nozzle or spout; C, the handle, and D the double bottom. These parts may be constructed as usual, 'and therefore do not require a minute description. E F represent the tw-o lids of thepitcher, the outer or uppermost one, E, being attached by a hinge or joint, a, to the rear part of the top of the pitcher, near the upper end of handle C; The other or inner lid, F, is attached by a. hinge or joint, 6, to the front part of the top of the pitcher, near the nozzle or spout B. By this means the two lids may be fully raised, one not being allowed to interfere with the other, and ice and liquids placed in the pitcher with equally as great'facility as those provided with one lid only. If the two lids were attached to the pitcher at the same point or side,'tl1e inner one could not be fully raised, and lconsiderable difliculty would be experienced iu filling the pitcher. An airspace is allowed between the two lids, which renders the top of the pitcher Aequally as eiicient as any other point in keepingth'e contents cool'. G represents a spout, which is fitted between the two walls A A ofv the pitcher, and has its lower end communicating with the lower part of the'interior of the pitcher, the upper end of said spout communicating with the nozzle or spout B.'

By this arrangement it will be seen that when the liquid is poured from the pitcher it will betaken from the bottom and all froth avoided; besides this, the cooler portion of the liquid is obtained. Thedouble-walled pitcher admits of this spout G being used without at all interfering with any of the parts of the pitcher, the spout being entirely out of the way.

HavingI thus described my invention, I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. Au ice or double-walled pitcher provided with two lids hinged to the .topof the pitcher at opposite or different points, substantially as and for the purpose specified. v

2. The spout Gr, placed between the two walls, and communicating with the bottom of the pitcher and the nozzle or spout thereof, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
